[quote=Anonymous]OP I am not shocked at all. Is she a widow? Once you have been through helping your own parents and helping a spouse who is ill presumably for years, possibly decades, you have no more caregiver left in you. I wouldn't be so sure he would have taken her in. In fact many actual make spouses are quicker to put the wife in AL, Memory care or a nursing home when things go south and no judgment there as long as they visit and are very caring. I'm just middle age and have been at this caregiving thing for a long time between just helping parents, a husband who had a serious illness, etc. If my husband dies before I do down the line I may date, but no way am I remarrying. I would be there a significant other, but not take on this level of care. I love my husband and would do anything for him, but he is the last person I do this for unless my kids need me or a grandchild needs me.[/quote]
